Top 5 best Capitals quotes of all-time

#4 “In overtime, no one knows.” – Alex Ovechkin

Here’s the full quote from Alex Ovechkin after the Washington Capitals eliminated the Columbus Blue Jackets:

"“This series was very fun to play and very fun to watch. It was lots of hockey. A bit unlucky in the first two overtimes. We got lucky in the third one. In overtime, no one knows.”"

The Capitals eliminated the Blue Jackets in six games and that quote came after the Game 6 clincher. What Ovechkin was talking about was how the Caps got a bit unlucky in the first two games of that series.

The Caps lost both games in overtime. And to make it even worse both were on home ice. It created doubt for everyone except those in that locker room.

The third game, I’ll admit, they needed a bit of puck luck. They got it in a big way. There was a clang off the post that was a few inches away from putting the Caps in a 3-0 hole.

Instead Lars Eller got the deflection the Caps needed and we all know what happened after that. But Ovechkin said something that still rings true today, “In overtime, no one knows”. Ask our friend Samantha Pell.
